A few of us met down in Warrenton for dinner to support a local cause. Chipotle was jam packed the whole time we were there and folks were still lining up out of both doors when we left. Good to see such a great community spirit.

But in 1845 this was a country store. Once owned by a cavalryman under Colonel Mosby, it was then sold to Edgar Heflin in 1899 and remained in operation until the 1970's. This is near Broad Run, just off 55; I've driven past it so many times, not knowing it sat just a few feet off the road. I found out about this from literature at the Warrenton Old Jail.

The morning shine shining on the prickles of my cactus and illuminating a Kota hair. So now I know he's on my kitchen window ledge as soon as I'm out of the door. And where else I wonder? Maybe it's best not to know.

I came home today after hunting fruitlessly through a neighbor's
overgrown field looking for some peaches for Maggi and I. There on my
doorstep was a bag with a pancake mix and peaches from Maggi. The
peaches came from our trees. I hadn't even realized that they were
ready! Talk about great minds think alike!

Today I got the coolest card ever from Debbie, Jim and the boys. It's the spitting image of Kota! Of course I knew it couldn't be him as he hates dressing up or posing for photos, the evidence here speaking for itself!

So my dear old trusty messenger bag which has come to work with me every day for at least 6 years had to be replaced. So I rummaged around work and found this one, k Ickes up a cool glitter Canon logo and ta da! I bet this would retail for at least $75! And it's an original!

I love these farm buildings that I pass on the way home. I'm not sure if it's the color scheme that appeals to me or the fact that it looks like a little toy farm with all the buildings matching each other.
